When did the Catholic Church allow people who committed suicide to be buried with a Catholic Service?
Up until recently, the Catholic Church considered those who committed suicide to have been guilty of a mortal sin and would automatically be condemned to hell. Thus they were forbidden a Catholic burial. However, recent advances in mental health science demonstrate that most of those who commit suicide are suffering from various forms of mental illness and not totally responsible for their actions. To be guilty of a mortal sin a person must be completely aware of the action they are taking and of its consequences.
